To say that Maurice Hill was a complicated man, just barely scratches the surface. But those who survive him, including one or two of his children with whom I was quite close, a half-century ago, should know, and remember, the indelible positive mark he made on so many students in Geneva, Illinois from 1958 to 1976 -- students now in their sixties and even seventies, who are now spread all over the country and the world. Mr. Hill taught us to love music and the arts; but more, to know that we could get so much more out of ourselves when we really pushed ourselves -- and worked toward accomplishing something great. That's what we'll remember.
I do hope Lisa, Holly, Jamey and Joni and the rest of you will be able to see this, and hopefully take some comfort from it.
